Ok well I got my oceanic biocube 14g up and running. It has 16.5lbs of rock with purple coraline on it. 20lbs of sand I took bioballs out added a carbon filter. It currently has 2 camel shrimp 2 oc clownfish I condy anenome and about 15 hermits and 20 snails. My question is about fish. Now im used to big tanks as in 125g, and 220g, never had one this small so I was wondering if how many fish I can have in a tank this size.
 
I think it's hard to put an absolute number on it but I'd guess no more than four. but then, maybe 5 or 6 if a couple of them are very small fish like clown gobies. I'd probably look at adding one more really cool fish to what you have and call it a day. wow, that was a completely unclear and open ended answer :)
 
Lol yeah sorry it was a bit unclear lol. I was at work when I wrote this and a lil distracted. Anyway I was worried about the bioload and dont want to put to much on the system. I was just wondering basically what kind of stocking options there was and a general guesstimate of how many smaller fish the system could take.
 
you can go on live aquaria and check out nano fish. That can give you some ideas on the different types available.
 
I have a biocube 14 and I have two fish. I would maybe consider putting in 1 more, but I would not put more than 3 fish in a biocube 14. As for cool fish for bio 14 I would go with a possum wrasse or a goby of some sort.
